We published For Worker’s Power in 2004, a time when the audience for his work was somewhat limited to academics and political theorists. Today, with the massive growth of the Democratic Socialists of America (with a current membership of 60,000) as well as a crop of local and national politicians calling themselves “socialist,” there is much more of an appetite for writing that explores and questions the relationship among socialism, state power, and political parties. This edition contains a new 8,500-word essay on the Jonestown Massacre as well as a new Indtroduction.
